Q4. 
 
The Earth’s southernmost point, Antarctica, is the driest and coldest of the seven continents. For a place 
that is 98 per cent covered in one-mile-deep ice, it is hard to imagine why anyone would want to visit it at 
all. But there is a strange beauty about Antarctica that is incomparable to anywhere else on the planet. 
Anyway, while Antarctica has no permanent residents, there are often up to 5,000 researchers working 
there at a time.

Q5. 
It is believed that hundreds of years ago the natives of Easter Island carved massive heads out of stone to 
honor their ancestors. Today, there are 887 “moai,” as the statues are called, which create a mysterious, yet 
intriguing landscape on this Polynesian island, which is a four-and-a-half hour flight from Lima, Peru. The 
tallest statue on the island, named Paro, is 33 feet high and weighs 82 tons. 
Q6. 
 
North America’s Red Canyon is 277 river miles long, eighteen miles wide, and one mile deep, and if it 
doesn’t make your mouth drop with surprise, then you might not be human! Most tourists go there by car 
and there are plenty of spots along the way to pull the car over and have a look from the top. You can also 
go down into the canyon’s depths and experience the very heart of the canyon by going rafting on the 
Colorado River, and even spend the night at a hotel below the rim. 
Q7. 
Thousands of miles long, the Great Wall of China is the largest cultural object humans have ever built. It 
majestically snakes through China, winds around rising and falling hills, twists through an enormous 
countryside, and stretches from Shanhaiguan in the east to Lop Lake in the west. However, the wall was 
constructed more than 2,000 years ago not to amaze people, but in an attempt to keep out invading tribes 
from the north
